What is Flyball?

If you've never seen dogs competing in flyball, you have definitely missed a treat! A relatively new dog sport, the first tournament was held in 1983. However, it caught on quickly, thanks in part to a demonstration on The Tonight Show early in flyball's history. Now, flyball is a very popular dog sport, with thousands of dogs and hundreds of clubs all over the world.

Glen of Imaal Terrier
Recently we rescued of Glen of Imaal from our local SPCA. She is 4 yrs old and is a very focused little girl. A mind of her own, not real affectionate, but very loyal at the same time. She has trained me well.

Don't require a great deal of exercise.. A

gums healthy and it's kind of funny, too.
Can't sing their praises enough. Wonderful

What is a microchip and why is it so important that our puppies have one?
A microchip is a unique identification code that is implanted between the shoulder blades of the dog/puppy. The dog is then enrolled with the AKC Reunited Recovery Program. AKC Reunited maintains a national database and is available 24-hours daily, 365 days a year. When a lost pet is found, it can be scanned at any animal shelter or by a veterinarian. The animalís identification number is called into AKC Reunited, and the pet owner is notified immediately.

Australian Shepherd Information

The founding registry for the breed is the Australian Shepherd Club of America. This organization is responsible for the development of the breed and breed standard, and they maintain their own registry and shows.
